The Apply Club Health is proud to present our next free online speaker event:
Creative methods in health research: co-producing knowledge with participants
Maaret Jokela-Pansini – Senior Scientist at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich;
Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford
16th of May, 2025 – 1 PM CEST (on Zoom)
Maaret Jokela-Pansini will talk about the role of creative methods in health research and the potential of such methods for engaging and co-producing knowledge with participants. Drawing on a recent project with people living with Long Covid, she will discuss how the team applied body mapping to understand patients’ different experiences and visualisations of the illness. The talk will highlight the practical implications of using creative methods in health research and introduce a body mapping toolkit developed with Long Covid patients.

Maaret Jokela-Pansini is a Senior Scientist at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford. She is interested in experiences of health and wellbeing related to illness, quality of life, and environmental risks, their impact on people’s daily lives, and the ways people respond to such challenges. Drawing on her background in non-governmental organisations, Maaret’s research is deeply rooted in community-based methodologies, bridging the gap between academia and public engagement.
The Apply Club Health Team is looking forward to the session with Maaret; as always here will be time for questions and a discussion after her presentation.
We hope to see you there!
